Kirkus review of THE RIGHT THING TO DO, The True Pioneers of College Football Integration in the 1960s.

My website homepage: Award-winning Sportswriter – Tom Shanahan Report

Michigan State video produced when Jimmy Raye was inducted into the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame, in 2018. The video narrated by Tony Duny was based on my first book, RAYE OF LIGHT, Jimmy Raye, Duffy Daugherty, the Integration of College Football and the 1965-66 Michigan State Spartans.

Thanks to Duke All-American cornerback Chandler Rivers of Beaumont, Texas, for helping me with the story of Willie Ray Smith Sr. as the chief engineer of the Duffy Daugherty’s Underground Railroad.

I’ll debate anybody, anytime, anywhere on the true story of college football integration in the 1960s. Watch video here: How Duffy Daugherty and the MSU Team Changed College Football History

— Tom Shanahan is an award-winning sportswriter with two books on college football integration, “RAYE OF LIGHT, Jimmy Raye, Duffy Daugherty, the Integration of College Football and the 1965-66 Michigan State Spartans,” and “THE RIGHT THING TO DO, The True Pioneers of College Football Integration in the 1960s.” They are the most accurate accounts of college football integration in the 1950s and 1960s. They also debunk myths about the 1970 USC-Alabama game. The false narrative co-opted the stories of the true pioneers who stood up to Jim Crow and the KKK.

— Two children’s books also explain Michigan State College Football Hall of Fame coach Duffy Daugherty’s impact on integration through the Underground Railroad and the Hawaiian Pipeline: “DUFFY’S COLLEGE FOOTBALL UNDERGROUND RAILROAD” and “HOW DUFFY PUT HAWAII ON AMERICA’S FOOTBALL MAP.”
